Health group gets $40,000 grant

The American Cancer Society has awarded a $40,000 grant to Community Health Association of Spokane for cancer screening and education programs.

The screening will focus on colon cancer and reducing the incidence of cancer in low-income and minority populations. Cancer risk is higher in those populations for a number of reasons including a lack of preventive care and lifestyle issues like diet, exercise and tobacco use, according to a news release.

The grant will promote access to low-cost or free cancer screening and education programs, the release said.
